Almost a year after Representative Cynthia McKinney was told by Donald Rumsfeld that it was not the policy of the Bush administration to reward companies that engage in human trafficking with government contracts, the scandal continues to sweep up innocent children who are sold into a life of slavery at the behest of Halliburton, Dyncorp and other transnational corporations with close ties to the establishment elite.​

On March 11th 2005, McKinney grilled Secretary Rumsfeld and General Myers on the Dyncorp scandal.​

"Mr. Secretary, I watched President Bush deliver a moving speech at the United Nations in September 2003, in which he mentioned the crisis of the sex trade. The President called for the punishment of those involved in this horrible business. But at the very moment of that speech, DynCorp was exposed for having been involved in the buying and selling of young women and children. While all of this was going on, DynCorp kept the Pentagon contract to administer the smallpox and anthrax vaccines, and is now working on a plague vaccine through the Joint Vaccine Acquisition Program. Mr. Secretary, is it [the] policy of the U.S. Government to reward companies that traffic in women and little girls?"​

The response and McKinney's comeback was as follows.​

Rumsfeld: "Thank you, Representative. First, the answer to your first question is, is, no, absolutely not, the policy of the United States Government is clear, unambiguous, and opposed to the activities that you described. The second question."​

McKinney: "Well how do you explain the fact that DynCorp and its successor companies have received and continue to receive government contracts?"

Rumsfeld: "I would have to go and find the facts, but there are laws and rules and regulations with respect to government contracts, and there are times that corporations do things they should not do, in which case they tend to be suspended for some period; there are times then that the - under the laws and the rules and regulations for the - passed by the Congress and implemented by the Executive branch - that corporations can get off of - out of the penalty box if you will, and be permitted to engage in contracts with the government. They're generally not barred in perpetuity."

McKinney: "This contract - this company - was never in the penalty box."

Rumsfeld: "I'm advised by DR. Chu that it was not the corporation that was engaged in the activities you characterized but I'm told it was an employee of the corporation, and it was some years ago in the Balkans that that took place."

Rumsfeld's effort to shift the blame away from the hierarchy at Dyncorp and onto the Dyncorp employees was a blatant attempt to hide the fact that human trafficking and sex slavery is a program directive embraced by companies like Dyncorp and Halliburton.

What else are we to assume in light of recent revelations cited in the Chicago Tribune that Halliburton subsidiary KBR and Dyncorp lobbyists are working in tandem with the Pentagon to stall legislation that would specifically ban trafficking in humans for forced labor and prostitution by U.S. contractors?

Three years has now elapsed since President Bush's promise to bring an end to this disgrace and the Pentagon is still yet to actually bar the practice.

And it the employees themselves that are burned for blowing the whistle, like Kathryn Bolkovac who was sacked for reporting on Dyncorp officials who were involved in the Bosnian sex trade.

Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is one of very few representatives in high office aside from Cynthia McKinney to demand answers on this issue.

What has happened to the children who were sold into slavery and forced to satisfy the demands of sick pedophiles working on behalf of the US government?

Where were the investigations and convictions in other cases of establishment orchestrated child slavery and prostitution? Like the NATO officials responsible for the mushrooming of child prostitution in Kosovo?

In addition, we received an E mail from a person claiming to be a Dyncorp employee stating that Robert Hahn, Director of Middle East Operations for DynCorp, is breaking the law by accepting payment from the US government and in turn the American taxpayer by falsifying timesheets and claiming pay for hours not worked.​

The contact states that this was repeatedly brought to the attention of DynCorp program managers William Wright and Robert Brown by Dyncorp employees but they were told it was "none of their business."​

It is important to stress that at the moment these are allegations and we have no proof of this other than the validity of the e mail. The e mail can be read in full here.​

The e mail is a reminder that we should always consider the fact that the vast majority of Dyncorp employees are just doing their jobs and have nothing to do with this scandal. It is a small faction at the head of the hydra that have authorized and engaged in these horrors.​

We have a government that says it doesn't advocate torture and yet tries to block a law that would end torture. We have a government that repeatedly burns lower level minions to wash its hands of every major scandal that encompasses policies directly administered by the government itself, as in the case of Abu Ghraib and the Dyncorp sex scandal.​

A government that covers-up for those who force children into prostitution and slavery is a clear danger to our very way of life.​

We must demand answers and finally put an end to a process that exploits and wreaks terror on the lives of the most innocent and vulnerable members of society, whether they be in the Balkans, East Timor or here at home. ​

Where do you get stuff like this? I've read alot of your posts and the news you post is incredible. I would rather read what you post than watch the 6-o-clock evening news. Keep up the good work!

Imagine a corporation like Haliburton involved in the sex trade!! Who would have thought? And trust the government to be hypocritical about such a serious issue. I'm shaking my head and laughing at the imeptitude.

yep, we're up against old school tyranny where the elite engage in these types of activities and protect themselves...

making laws where they're allowed to kidnap women and children and sell them into sex slavery...yeah, that's realy christian and conservative...

i wish it was on the 6 o'clock news...i wish how our country was turning into a 3rd world dictatorship was on the news...then i wouldn't have so much to bitch about because everyone would already know what was wrong...instead of pointing at these imaginary enemies and spreading the empire with war.

Piss gets his news from left wing/Tin foil hats that wake up in the morning and decide what false new story they are gona come up with this week. I beieve 99% of Piss links go to noncredible sources, or to non working sights that "posted the information earlier, but took it down, but dont worry, i got it saved on another website"

You get your news from the far-right propaganda machine who continues to hide thier LordBushes lies, but you cant see that because your 2 busy watching Foxnews and working your life around people like billodillho, sean insannity..Still have nothing to offer myth...I used to be a foxnews veiwer and I believe what they said, but then my eyes were opened and I saw the truth, think outside the caged sometimes.
